Reclaim Deleted Space
I am using the ReadyNAS Ultra 2 in Windows. I deleted some large files but the NAS still shows no available space. There should be because the files totaled over 30GB in size. You can empty the trash ...
Thanks for all the help and the advice - I already deleted it all and reformatted. I'm going to upload the media using TeraCopy, which is much more reliable than using Windows Explorer so perhaps there is something good here in the end. I believe that you are right with the discrepancies between NTFS and EXT, as well as having the overhead from the operating system on the disk. And yes, the rounding would probably be GiB or fractions of a GB.
I have two Ultra 2s. I figure that they are more than good enough to act as fileservers and stream media to Plex or a device like the WD Play. I'm going to refill them with media again, leaving some extra space. Is there any reason why I'd want to use only 80-85% rather than something like 95-97% capacity? 3% is actually quite large. Even 1% comes out to around a 36GB buffer.
